I love to see how things naturally unfold, how one event links to the next. Presence brings joy, whether weeding a flowerbed, playing with my dog, going for a walk or painting. 

 

I find inspiration everywhere, but nothing beats strong feelings and the natural elements. Sometimes I am completely off, but I have learned to live in those seemingly lifeless moments with curiosity. Feelings drift away as thoughts, symbolically reflected in the movements of the clouds. 

 

I can look at the clouds for hours at a time  –  moving and changing shapes. The variations in colour, mist, density, lightness and darkness show both variation and continuity at the same time, elegantly depicting a human life.

​

Paintings during 2000-2023 are mostly made with acrylics, but recent experimentation with water soluble oils and other media creates new possibilities, so now I am exploring how the various elements will play together on the canvas. ​

I work in my home studio in Oslo.
